# CometBFT
|
|
|
|
Welcome to the CometBFT documentation!
|
|
|
|
CometBFT is a blockchain application platform; it provides the equivalent
|
|
of a web-server, database, and supporting libraries for blockchain applications
|
|
written in any programming language. Like a web-server serving web applications,
|
|
CometBFT serves blockchain applications.
|
|
|
|
More formally, CometBFT performs Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT)
|
|
State Machine Replication (SMR) for arbitrary deterministic, finite state machines.
|
|
For more background, see [What is CometBFT?](./introduction/README.md#what-is-cometbft).
|
|
|
|
To get started quickly with an example application, see the [quick start guide](guides/quick-start.md).
|
|
|
|
To learn about application development on CometBFT, see the [Application Blockchain Interface](https://github.com/cometbft/cometbft/tree/v0.38.x/spec/abci).
|
|
|
|
For more details on using CometBFT, see the respective documentation for
|
|
[CometBFT internals](core/), [benchmarking and monitoring](tools/), and [network deployments](networks/).

To recommend a change to the documentation, please submit a PR. Each major
|
|
release's documentation is housed on the corresponding release branch, e.g. for
|
|
the v0.34 release series, the documentation is housed on the `v0.34.x` branch.
|
|
|
|
When submitting changes that affect all releases, please start by submitting a
|
|
PR to the docs on `main` - this will be backported to the relevant release
|
|
branches. If a change is exclusively relevant to a specific release, please
|
|
target that release branch with your PR.
|
|
|
|
Changes to the documentation will be reviewed by the team and, if accepted and
|
|
merged, published to <https://docs.cometbft.com> for the respective version(s).
